Grand Prix Rejects

Let's talk aboot the next race, eh. Round 5: Montreal, Canada GRID: 1 – 5 M. Andretti (USGP) – 1'27.584 2 – 28 J. Hunt (Ferrari) – 1'28.024 3 – 6 S. Speed (USGP) – 1'28.163 4 – 2 J-D. Délétraz (F1 Rejects) – 1'28.164 5 – 27 G. Villeneuve (Ferrari) – 1'28.491 6 – 1 HWNSNBM (F1 Rejects) – 1'28.667 7 –...

How in the world did you resurrect Gilles Villeneuve from the dead AND bring James Hunt from retirement? Not to mention 113-year-old Enzo Ferrari running the team as well... It's quite simple... I used the -respawn parameter on the command line, and all three came back to life. It works with others...

As to where that car came from, I really do not know - it might just be, as you say, a one off car for that exhibition, but why they would go to the extent of changing the sidepods? Perhaps your suggestion of that particular design being one of the less successful prototypes that was re-used for pr...

...I don't know if it is possible to simply transcribe money into foreign countries. I tried to do an international bank transfer last year. It's tied up in so much anti-money-laundering red tape (which, I suppose, is a good thing overall...) that I was told it would cost £25 to do so, and it would...

I LOL'd at that.

Jackpot! I was hoping someone would be paying enough attention to spot the f1rejects.com in-joke hidden in a foreign language in tiny text. And in another in-joke from a different world: congraturation, you sucsess!

Microprose Grand Prix either doesn't know about the two hour limit, or doesn't care. Can't say Hockenheim will take that long, though.

Rumours that Eddie Irvine has just badly parked his yacht across two spaces in the harbour to get a better view of this race are so far unsubstantiated. Round 4: Monte Carlo, Monaco GRID: 1 – 27 G. Villeneuve (Ferrari) – 1'31.359 2 – 6 S. Speed (USGP) – 1'32.200 3 – 33 S. Borgudd (Simtek) – 1'34.000...

This is epic It just got a lot more epic. Read on. The teams' profiles are just hilarious I have history on this front, actually... I used to post on the finalgear.com forums, before the F1 section descended into a Ferrari/Alonso fanboys versus McLaren/Hamilton fanboys mudslinging match, which I re...

Round 2: Interlagos, Brazil GRID: 1 – 1 HWNSNBM (F1 Rejects) – 1'23.862 2 – 2 J-D. Délétraz (F1 Rejects) – 1'25.041 3 – 27 G. Villeneuve (Ferrari) – 1'25.496 4 – 33 S.

Careful what you wish for there, Aerond. You never know what might happen in the first race... and here's what did happen. Round 1: Phoenix, USA GRID: 1 – 1 HWNSNBM (F1 Rejects) – 1'31.310 2 – 28 J. Hunt (Ferrari) – 1'32.199 3 – 27 G. Villeneuve (Ferrari) – 1'32.328 4 – 6 S. Speed (USGP) – 1'32.911 ...

The initial post was so long I had to split it into two halves... The F1 Rejects Microprose Grand Prix Series, 2011 season: The teams and drivers (part 2) Team name: Toleman Chassis: TG211 Engine: Hart straight-4 turbo Drivers: 19. Ralf Schumacher / 20. Nelson Piquet Jr. Team Principals: Ted Toleman...

I remember having this game when I was quite a bit younger. Some of you lot do as well . It ran fine on the 486 SX2 I had at the time - all 33 MHz of thromping power - and I raced, usually at Hockenheim, cutting all the chicanes and beating everyone in the field. With the help of DOSBox and the inte...

How about putting F1 Rejects logo on the COOL SPOT? As soon as I saw "THIS IS A COOL SPOT" I immediately thought of the character of the same name from the 7Up adverts in the 90s... in the US. Cool Spot only ever hit our shores on the damp side of the Atlantic in the form of the SNES &...

You've missed the point completely, friend. HWNSNBM is FAR, FAR superior to Chuck Norris, even FAR superior than The Stig. The times set by the celebs in the Kia so far this series of TG have shown a marked improvement - to the point where Clarkson's commented on how The New Stig must be a better i...

GP2 Reject-to-be Ricardo Teixeria was linked to the second Hispania seat, but he's been spotted in Valencia driving for filming purposes. It's a shame; he brings money from Sonangol, who have made some great red, black and yellow liveries in the past. It would have looked good on a Hispania. And he...

Tell you what, let's have a Midgrid-style run-down and see how many names I recognise... F1 World Champion: Jody Scheckter Aurora AFX British F1 champion (yes, it was still going on!): Rupert Keegan European F2: Marc Surer Japanese F2: Keiiji Matsumoto British F3: Chico Serra French F3: Alain Prost ...

And, in...

I will admit to being very surprised by the new Hispania, despite the "please sponsor us" logos. I never thought it'd look like that. But it reminds me of something... http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/893/f111g.png ...it's a Super Aguri! (well... maybe. If they'd survived to this day...?) ...

Livery related, it looks just fine. From the car design point of view, it looks cool but slow, just like last year... Bit too much white on the nosecone, but other than that, it's still Manor Motorsport's colours, and that'll do fine. Designwise: the airbox and the sidepods haven't changed at all, ...

anyone got some ideas? can't think of black and green teams off the top of my head.

It looks more black and yellow from here, and reminds me of an early 90s AGS - the Ted Lapidus-sponsored version.

This looks like a good place to park this question. The Virgin VR-01 is, by all measures, an utterly rejectful car. The fuel tank debacle was the worst of its problems, but more technically-minded people pointed to the obvious signs of its first-attempt-at-an-all-CFD approach - which centred mainly ...

My personal champion?

Jody Scheckter.

There aren't half some youngsters around here...

Obviously this is a horrifying development and I can add no more to that debate except to say that I wish Robert Kubica as quick and complete a recovery as Felipe Massa, Heikki Kovalainen and Michael Schumacher before him, amongst others who did not survive completely intact - the Zanardis, Nanninis...

I live on the edge of Banbury which is where Wirth Research is now based, just round the corner from where my dad still works.

Ye gods, mario, you've been reading the rule book very closely... The comment about shark fins is half right - they are still legal, but the rules have created a region that extends from 50 to 330mm in front of the rear wheel centreline, and >730mm above the reference plane (the floor of the car), i...

It's an improvement, but still uninspiring. Having started watching in 1995, I still miss the 'traditional' Sauber colours of purple/dark blue/turquoise. ...although that would be overlooking the black cars of 1993 and 1994, even though the 1994 car sprouted a white stripe and a load of dots on it ...
